With These Minis, It Takes Three to Tango

For a long time, there was a little gap in Manfred Schmitz’s “mini” piano series (Mini Jazz, Mini Rock, Mini Tango). Now it’s been closed. The “Mini Tango” now welcomes its six-hand book, which contains a mix of newly written pieces and highlights from the basic book for two and four hands, which were arranged and sometimes considerably expanded. As usual, Schmitz fashions each of the three parts as technically equal in value. Keeping six hands busy, the “Mini Tango” now brings a new sound quality to group recitals organized by piano teachers.
